Your Title Goes Here
Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella
SYNOPSIS
The Broadway adaptation of the classic musical features new characters, a hilarious libretto, surprising twists, and an unforgettable score from Rodgers & Hammerstein. Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella is a musical in two acts with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and a book by Douglas Carter Beane based partly on Hammerstein’s 1957 television adaptation. The story is derived from the fairy tale Cinderella, particularly the French version Cendrillon ou la petite pantoufle de verre, by Charles Perrault. It concerns a young woman forced into a life of servitude by her cruel stepmother and selfish stepsisters. She dreams of a better life, and with the help of her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella is transformed into an elegant young lady and is able to attend the ball to meet her Prince. In this version, however, she opens the Prince’s eyes to injustice in his kingdom. Ella helps spark transformation and empower the disenfranchised in their kingdom.With the help of her fairy godmother, a pumpkin and a little magic and humour, Ella, Prince Topher and their generous friends will inspire and delight the whole family. Rodgers and Hammerstein originally wrote the songs for a 1957 television broadcast starring Julie Andrews, and it was remade twice for television and adapted for the stage in various versions through the decades. The 2013 adaptation was the first version of Cinderella with the Rodgers and Hammerstein score mounted on Broadway. The new book by Beane makes the Prince an orphan and introduces several new characters, including a sinister regent and an idealistic revolutionary, and makes one of the stepsisters sympathetic.
